"Black Panther" was born in the UK, and spent her youth in Europe and the United States. Naomi Campbell always stressed her African roots and was not ashamed of her origin. Therefore it is not surprising that the supermodel supports representatives of the fashion world from Africa and visits the continent for participation in shows and photo sessions.
